Association of components of the metabolic syndrome with the appearance of aggregated red blood cells in the peripheral blood. An unfavorable hemorheological finding

Components of the metabolic syndrome are associated with low‐grade inflammation. This can be accompanied by the synthesis of sticky proteins and erythrocyte aggregation.
